Mexico used to be a nice place

[Polishprince]

A lot of Americans used to want to go there to work, earn a living.

This afternoon, there is a film on TV later about 3 Americans who go to Cucaracha , Mexico to open a beauty salon, (with hilarious consequences).

But the story made sense, as the traffic on the southern US border went both ways.

Wow, 80 years ago.

WWII was just starting to come to a boil.

When was Mexico a nice place, before the US invaded in 1846?

During the Roosevelt Depression, people like these fish peddlers who couldn't make a living in California sometimes went south.

Back in the early 2000's, we used to go from San Diego south into Baja. We'd bypass Tijuana, which has always been a slum, and go down to Ensenada, Rosarito and Puerto Nuevo, primarily.

Puerto Nuevo was a great place to go for a lobster lunch. Granted, the lobsters were small, but they were plentiful. We could get a lobster lunch, complete with drinks (tequila shots, margaritas, etc) for a dozen people, tip included, for under $200 (US).

Then, Americans started disappearing down there. Sometimes their loved ones would be contacted with ransom demands. Others would just never be seen again. It stopped being a place which was safe and welcoming to tourists, so we stopped going altogether...

We used to go to Cancun frequently. Always staying at the Krystal at the point

We loved it there. Walk at 3am without a liberal criminal robbing you

Haven't been there since the alkihol poisonings in Mexico

Now drug wars in Cancun. My God. Even Cancun is turning to Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome

Ted Cruz loves it
He visits during every power failure
Damn, it’s cold here
If we leave now we can be sipping Margaritas on the beach by Happy Hour

The huge debt by Mexico from the IMF allowed you white people to go to Mexico often and not have to see the depths of the squalor and poverty, now that Mexico has a revenue problem to go along with a debt problem you white people will need to find another spot to be decadent. Be sure to buy illegals drugs in the US where the cartel can make a profit.

You might be thinking of the D.R.

The Russian mafia took over Cancun in the late 1990's the last time I was there, before when I was in Monterey in 1978 there was poverty and street kids selling drugs and their sister to exist.

And to the USSR and Nazi Germany.

Moonglow Mexico was a great place as recently as the 80s. I used to go there frequently until the drug cartels and the corrupt government turned it into a shit hole.

It was a shithole when I went there in 1978 but I enjoyed all the vice and sin.

Mexico has NEVER been a nice place. There are small, very nice, very elite places, and then there is the rest of the third world shithole. Which is sad because the people are for the most part genuinely good. It is their corrupt leaders who are scum.

There are some towns you pass through that you hope you never have to encounter after a car breakdown.

I don’t know bud…..the “good people” I know don’t commit crime at the rate they do in ALL brown shitholes.

Narco terrorists are the worst of the worst, get away from them and the Mexican people are hard working, good folks.
